Well, here’s that snow everything was hinting at.  We got a good six inches this week!  The next question is always, of course, how long will it last?  Colorado winters are very dry and, lately at least, only intermittent about staying below freezing.  Never-the-less, my front garden is so shady I’d say there’s even odds I won’t be seeing the ground there again until the spring.  (But yay! I just managed to get it trimmed and mostly tidy before the snow came.)

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years kinda shows off how uncertain things are about being snowy this time of year.  Little bits of snow here and there.  Lots of brown.  Sometimes a flower or two.  (And I did have one sweet, purple pansy say hello while I was tidying my front garden before the snow, so that’s definitely on point too.)

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years kind of just keeps that theme going.  A month ago there was color.  But two years ago predicts this is now the time of brown and dry, while four years ago says this is the time of snowy and cold.  Yep.  We’ll see how it goes.

…This week my garden is comfortably covered in snow.
